I read the local obituaries everyday making sure I didn’t know anyone, and just to look at the names. Usually the names are nothing special, but there were a few that stood out today. What are you’re thoughts of them, and how would you pronounce them?
Girl:
Ivalene Moultrie (first & middle)
Ivesta
[name]Zela[/name]
Conada
Boy:
Lihue
Sorry, don’t care for any of them.
Ivalene is really cool! I would say it EYE-vuh-leen. I’m guessing her middle name is a family surname–it just doesn’t look like an actual name to me, but I could be wrong.
Ivalene (eye-vuh-leen) is very pretty. [name]Ivy[/name] would be a cute nn. I don’t really care for the others.
I agree Ivalene (eye-vuh-leen) is pretty cute and [name]Ivy[/name] is a perfect nn.
My grandmother’s name is actually [name]Vesta[/name], so Ivesta doesn’t sound too crazy to me.
Ivalene is actually sorta pretty. But Moultrie–I would pronounce that mool-tree at first glance–which isn’t at all pleasant.
[name]Zela[/name] is okay, but I’m not sure whether zeh-luh or zee-luh would be the most obvious pronunciation.
I don’t care for the 2 at all, they don’t even look like words to me, much less names.
